Just got maced and gassed with hundreds others by Seattle police on 11th & Pine. With no provocation. All the movement was demanding was: Let us march! Shameful violence under Mayor Durkan. And the 30-day tear gas pause is totally meaningless. Durkan Must Go. #DefundPolice

How much does it cost to have an army occupy Los Angeles and why does my mom have to use her own paycheck to buy crayons for her first graders

This is in Charleston. The man is on his knee, speaking and peacefully protesting. The police suddenly break line, walk over and arrest him.

Worth repeating that all of the police violence you see happening right now has been happening for a long time before there were any camera phones to record it. It’s a daily phenomenon in communities across the country. It’s structurally embedded into how these forces operate.

A police officer pulls down a black man’s mask to pepper spray him! His hands were up, not behaving in any threatening way. This is outrageous.
I am heartbroken and disgusted to see one of my family members a young black man w/his hands up peacefully protesting and an NYPD officer pulls down his mask and pepper sprays him. @NYCSpeakerCoJo @BPEricAdams @FarahNLouis @JumaaneWilliams @NewYorkStateAG @NYPDShea cc: @EOsyd

I cannot believe what I just witnessed. They pulled up onto the square with a police siren on and did this. #Louisville

All the experts say we need to greatly expand COVID-19 testing capacity to safely re-open America. The White House promised 27 million tests by the end of March. As of last week, only 4 million have been conducted. Where are the tests? nytimes.com/interactive/2020…

Pete is the son of an upper middle class academic. Warren is the daughter of a janitor. But Pete gets to be the “Midwesterner” while the women who grew up poor in Oklahoma, went to public school, went to college as a single mom - is “elite” and “uppity.” Cool.

for anyone planning on seeing joker, keep an eye out for a scene near the end with lots of television screens. keanu's 80s cornflakes commercial is playing on one of them 😉

"I had fresh madness in me. I saw no one alive for six weeks, but at night fields burned outside my camp." We're back this week with our latest online issue! Check it out and read Mike Itaya's medieval atmospheric fiction "Shame" at belletristmagazine.com/ficti…

If you’re reading this and you’re thinking that the ICE raid in Mississippi was justified because the 680 men and women apprehended are undocumented, and therefore in your eyes they are here “illegally” and we “have the right to enforce our laws,” you should know the following:

Some asylum seekers who have given birth in custody were forced to hand over their newborns to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. We were unable to verify what happens to the children of women who do not have access to legal help. rewirenews.link/2W8oY68

I always think, when I hear “I don’t have a racist bone in my body,” how close it cuts to national metaphor: it’s the very bones of this country that are racist—racism is skeleton on which economy, institutions, gov’t, norms were built. These bones are in all of our bodies.

Some people swear by Jane Austen, other people swear by the Bible, but when I was stumbling, what picked me up and set me on my feet was @Dahlialithwick, and her piece in @slate slate.com/news-and-politics/…

Toddlers quarantined in a 8x10’ room sleeping on the floor w/the flu. Young girl in a hot warehouse coloring with a chain link fence around her. Women sobbing in a crowded cell because they were separated from their kids. Our system is broken. I won’t stop until it’s fixed.
